OSTI ID:4138953
A method is reported for the simultaneous estimation of the concentration of radioactive isotopes in soils with nuclear plates and G-M counters. There was a discussion on work done with the method of the gamma-ray spectrometer giving the distribution of scintillation spectra of the gamma-rays of the uranium, thorium, and potassium-40. The enclosed tables give the results obtained for concentrations of the uranium, thorium. and potassium in rocks and soils. The conclusions regard the usefulness of gamma-ray scintillation spectrometers for these purposes. (auth)
